So that means by the time the movie goes into production with Ford he will be around 78-79 yeas old. Do audiences want to see an Indiana Jones who is pushing 80?

'Indiana Jones 5' has been delayed again.
The next movie in the action franchise - which will be directed by Steven Spielberg and stars Harrison Ford in the title role - was originally scheduled for release in July 2019 and later pushed back to July 2020 but it seems fans will now have to wait even longer for the film as more work has been done on the script.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Jonathan Kasdan - the son of 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' writer Lawrence Kasdan - has been brought on board to write a new draft of the movie.
The script was originally written by David Koepp but he's no longer available to work on the projects because of his directorial commitments to 'You Should Have Left'.
Disney have yet to give a new release date for the movie.
It is not clear if a rewrite of the film will bring back Shia LaBeouf's 'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull' - the 2008 fourth installment of the archaeological adventure franchise - character Mutt, as Koepp previously admitted the son of Indiana Jones didn't feature in his draft.
He said: "Harrison plays Indiana Jones, that I can certainly say.
"And the Shia LaBeouf character is not in the film."
The franchise, which started in 1981, follows the fictional archaeologist, who originally fought against the Nazis in their search for Biblical artefacts.
However, in the 2008 movie, fans of the franchise were disappointment that the movie took a different angle and dealt with alien origins rather than Biblical stories.
Koepp recently revealed he thought the last 'Indiana Jones' was not as successful as the previous movies in the franchise.
He said: "It's hard because you can learn like if something maybe didn't work as well as you think it would well we certainly wouldn't do that again, but you wouldn't have done that again anyway, you already did it, so it's hard to say.
"For me it was the MacGuffin dictates everything, and so we tried to make the best possible choice we could.
"Not that nobody didn't try to make the best choice that they could in the past, but we tried to give us the one that gave us the Indiana Jones movie we most wanted to see."

So, basically, what happened onscreen in the 4th movie is happening behind the scenes of the 5th.
I never even saw that 4th movie, and couldn't give less of a damn about this one.

I'm actually glad that the New Script for the Movie is being written by Jonathan Kasdan. I think that that is Pretty Cool.  |

By the time it's released, it might as well be a full fledged reboot.

They're better off just rebooting the franchise at this point. Ford will be in a wheelchair by the time this gets made. I Personally don't Ford is the only actor who could play Indy. That's absurd.
It's been done with James Bond so why not Indy?

No, I hope this falls through and they do not end up making this film. We don't need this film, I don't want this film.

Honestly, I'd rather just have an Indy 5 with another actor instead of Ford, despite how prominent he was to the franchise. He just doesn't age well and I fear that it could lead to controversy. I mean, Indiana Jones is a character meant for adventure, do you really think that you wanna see poor old Harrison moving and jumping around?

If you want more Indiana Jones movies you have to let somebody else play the role eventually or you just except that the franchise is dead because one guy got too old. |

It's been done with James Bond so why not Indy? James Bond was originally a literary character, so it's OK to have different actors portray him and offer different interpretations.
Indiana Jones on the other hand, was created by the duo of Lucas and Spielberg then embodied by Ford. A lot of the traits of what makes Indy Indy is Harrison Ford himself - the dry humor, scoundrel persona and physical ability. Anybody else playing the role would be a poor imitation.
As for a fifth film, I'm on the fence. Ford still looks good for a man his age, but I don't know how they'll sell a 77-year old man raiding ancient tombs and fighting villains. It brings back painful memories of Charles Bronson in Death Wish V and I'd rather not see that happen with Indy.

Ah, Johnathan Kasdan, the nepotism hire who insults Star Wars fans on twitter. I'm definitely boycotting now because of that prick.

Why now? They didn't make a single Indy movie in the 1990's!

I'm really disappointed at hearing this, but at the same time I hope they can come up with a better script because Harrison Ford isn't getting any younger.

I'm okay with a new Indiana Jones film but I'm aiming for a reboot. Let's face it, the Communists are just not as interesting as bad guys as the Nazis. The new film, if Ford continues as Jones would have to take place in the 1960's more than likely and I'm not ready for him to be hanging out with girls in go go boots and Beach Blanket Bingo or Surfin' Safari.
I think it would be really interesting to go back to the 1930's or maybe even start the first one earlier in the 1920's during Indiana's days at the University of Chicago when he studied under Professor Ravenwood. Heck, Ford could even make a guest appearance in one of the later films in the series as the Dean of the Archaeology department as a sort of Marcus Brody (the Raiders Brody, not the Last Crusade Brody that got lost in his own museum).

I'm sad but this is prolly for the better. Old franchises need to die and new ones should be created.
